moles they please, but after all the fact re-
mains and cannot be dislodged that Gen
eral Grants book is great land in its de-
partmenD unique and unapproachable lit
erary masterpiece. In their line there is
no higher literature than those modest,
simple Memoirs. Their style is at least
flawless, and no man can improve upon it;
and great books are weighed and measured
by their style and matter, not by the trim
mings and shading of the grammer. There
is that about the sun which makes US for.

eral Grant our pulses quicken and his
grammar vanishes; we only remember that
this is the simple soldier who, all untaught
of the silken phrase maker, linked words
together with an art surprising the art of
the schools, and put into them something
which will still bring to American ears, as
long as America shall last, the roll Of his
vanishing drums and the tread of his
marching hosts.

AcAnPAIGN KEY NOTE,
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle
In the Kentucky, Democratic state con-
vention which nominated the ex-rebel
General Buckner for governor, a few days
ago, Henry Watterson exhibited his con-
tinued indicative venom and malice to-
ward the old union soldiers in the follow
ing disgraceful declaration: ''There Is
frauds own pauper patriotic liniment,
which proposes to exterminate vagabond-
age by making every tramp prisoner. +"
As Mr.. Watterson was discussing and
commencing Cleveland's veto of the de-
pendent-soldiers pension bill, It is fair
inference to presume that he intended to
imply that the old union soldiers are vaga-
bonds and tramps This unmanly attempt
to cast opprobium upon the brave men who
saved the union and who are now old, and
in many instances crippled and helpless
from diseases contracted in the service,
was perhaps intended to give courage to
the convention on the eve of its proceeding
to nominate for governor General Buckner
who was the first rebel general of note to
surrender to the union forces. 1t was a
cowardly stab at the back of the disabled
heroes of the union army by q man, who,
during the war, had not the courage to join
his southern friends on the battle field; nor
sufficient patriotic principle to stand by the
union.
Although his language was clothed in
the form of humorous epigram, yet the
heart of the utterer and the venom of the
sting were in it.
Perhaps Mr.. Waterson intended it as a
key note to the coming Kentucky cam
paign. Or, perhaps, having taken courage
on account of the victory his party men,
like Bdckner, have gained over the disa-
bled union soldiers by reason of Cleve-
lands veto. he may have intended it as a
key note to the presidential campaign of
1888.
The country has not forgotten that the
old soldiers are its true citizens, and that
the legitimate penalty of treason is death.
And while the names of the brave citizen
soldiery will go down into history as the
patriotic preservers of the great American
union, history will write the names of
Watterson, Buckner and their ilk, as I'm
hung, generously pardoned traitors, whose
greatest effort was to establish a confeder.
acy Of slavery. UNION.

THE UTILITY OF ORGANIZATION.

TT. Worth Daily Gazette.
Among the guests at the Ellis yesterday
was Col. II. G.. Ruggles, prominent
member Of the Wichita, Kans., bar, who is
in the city on professional business. He
said in answer to reportorial queries that
while some Of the excitement and wild
speculative fever incident to the earlier
stages of great boom his town has of late
enjoyed, had died out, Wichita was still
in the midst of season of wonderful
growth. A vacant house was not to DO had
and new ones could not be put up fast
enough. A carriage factory employing
100 operatives was 10 full
shortly to open. Plans for the erect
ton of four or five universities or colleges,
with big endowments, were well under
way. The new business houses being
built would compare favorably with those
of Kansas City. The population he
thought was at least 80, 900.
Colonel Ruggles expressed surprise that
Fort Worth, with $4,000 people, great
railway system and magnificent CONNER
cial advantages, did not have Board of
Trade or some similar body to systemati-
cally push the town forward. He said
that much of the prosperity that had come
to Wichita was due directly to the active
efforts of the public spirited and far see
ing men that comprise the Board of
Trade of that city. They had adver-
tised Wichita constantly and intelli-
gently and were not reaping the rewards
of their word. The same policy would
effect like results here. Both towns were
becoming G eat railway centers, both were
in the midst of the finest agricultural lands
of the southwest. In railroads. indeed,

Seward and Lincoln were prophecies of a

saying of Grant was the crystalized deter

that the best government ever established

RANDALL WILL GO DOWN.

The indications now are that the element
of the Democratic party led by Morrison,
Carlisle and Waterson and men of their
faith are going to make an effort to put
Mr.. Randall of Pennsylvania. outside the
Democratic party. Randall is man OF
undoubted ability as a party leader.
Should he be able to hold in rank, the
men in that party who are in favor OF pro-
tectipg the American laborer against COM
petition from class of laborers in Europe
who are compelled to toll for nothing and
board themselves, the fight will be inter
esting to behold.
1t is hardly probable that Mr.. Cleveland
can remain disinterested witness. While
this struggle goes on inside the Democratic
party between the free traders and the pro
tectionists, the country is not informed as
10 whether or not the president has any
prejudices In the matter.
His craftsmanship is not of the sort that
the average citizen is allowed to nnder-
stand and pass judgment upon. There
have been times when statesman with no
views upon any of the leading
questions of the day would not
be an available candidate for
the presidency in any party. But Mr
Cleveland today is the only fair represent
alive of his party. because the party have
not had policy for the last twenty years.
If he should entertain any well defined
views on any public question he would not
be good representative of of his party
and have the inside track for rencmina-
ton. The Democratic party in the early
days of the republic adopted policy in
favor Of state rights and against United
States banks, but that policy reacted on the
party in way that did not tend t'
favorably impress it that policies were OF
any importance to political parties. In
fact the party became so Disguised, along
with every body else, with its policy that il
has never since repeated the experiment OF
having policy. This being the case and
Mr. Randall now having come In to dis
turb the quiet of the Democratic household
with protection falacies, we predict he
will 60 down in the fight. And since We
come to think Mr.. Cleveland will not take
sides either way only to throw his influence
against the adoption of any policy by his
party other than the policy of reform,
and nobody knows what that means.

1t will be seen by reference 10 Union S
letter that he does not entertain an opinion
of Mr.. Waterson, that is at all flattering 10
that gentleman. Whatever objections we
may have to Henry Waterson on account
of the principles he advocates, it cannot be
denied that he has one quality, admired by
both friend and foe. He is honest and we
always know where to find him.
